commodore v6 dry sump setup

[tozook]

looking that fitting a v6 in a hilux and want to run high steer and want to keep the motor as low as i can so i was think of running a dry sump setup

can it be driven on the road (daily driven/long camping trips)?
is there a complete kit you can buy?
how much?

if there is no complete kit what parts are best to use

i run a v6(commodore) in my lux and histeer will fit no prob if you fit a 2" dropped front crossmember.
i wouldnt think that it would be worth the expense of a dry sump just for this reason?

How about shifting the motor back.
You would prob have to go to far back but.

Dry sumping a motor purely for that reason is uneconomical, the thousands that it costs in pumps/tanks/hose & fittings is a little crazy, it is just another thing to go wrong 500k's from home, a simple notch in the sump would solve the problem, or a dropped x member as has been said above.

this is some pictures of my frist hilux it was running a v6 motor, 2" drop cross member, 2" springs and shackles and was not running a body

and the drag link hit and damaged the sump



and this is how it looked after i got the sump notch anf fitted ifs rear springs

this is how i want it to look like when it's finished

Everything is a compromise, money, centre of gravity, ride height, uptravel etc etc


With a ride height like that your going to have to lose one of the above to gain what you want.

That last pic has a good stance.
Just run some progressive bump stops and just use all droop, very little compression.
Can you take any more out of the sump?

G'day, I was having the same dramas after installing hi-steer so knocked up a rear drop sump, works great.
